  • convert wig to bigwig

    I've used MACS and got one wig file per chromosome. I want to make a bigwig file and used the manual on ucsc http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/bigWig.html.
    1. Should I put the wig files together in one file by cat? and then use the bigwig program?
    2. I tried to follow exaple two and downloaded the wigglefile and the textfile and made the bigwigfile (mybigwig.bw) But I do not understand what to do in the next step (7). I understand this step as adding a line to the bigwigfile, but this is a binary file. So I don't get it.
    Thanks

    you have to concatenate your wig files:

    Code:
    $ zcat *.wig.gz | wigToBigWig -clip stdin chromsizes.tab out.bw
    To visualize your bigwig track you have to place it in a location visible by http/ftp protocol and then make the genome browser aware of it by adding this text:

    Code:
    track type=bigWig bigDataUrl=http://URL/of/out.bw
    in the text field you get when you want to add a track.
    Unfortunately, if your bw file is not visible by the genome browser (i.e. you are behind a firewall) you won't be able to see it.

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
